"I am really pleased with the results from StartUpLift. The feedback that we received through the site will go a long way towards improving our service. All the responses were professional, thoughtful, and well written. I think the concept and the service that StartUpLift is providing is brilliant. ”
1) Visit http://tinyurl.com/7ej8zku. What is your initial impression of the site? What doyou think it doe(s)? Are you immediately drawn to click anything? Why?
I like the fact that your Home page has a cartoon-like, comic book feel to it. It conveys that you want to attract an audience who is light-hearted. Those who don’t’ take themselves too seriously, yet want to lose weight. I think your site is selling a diet weight loss plan that anyone can use. I was immediately drawn to click the “Click to Begin” box.
The placement of the “Click to Begin” box is at eye level and colorful. I particularly like the circle graphic behind the box.
2) Where would you go to learn more about what the site has to offer?
?I would click the “About” link near the bottom of your site to find out what your company has to offer. Some websites forget to put the “About” link on their sites. It’s very important for new visitors to be able to find out more about your company. The “About” link lets those visitors find out more about your business so they’ll be able to make a more informed buying decision.
3) Now visit the following page: http://tinyurl.com/7o6cgf4 . According to the information presented, what works and what does not work when it comes to losing weight? Are you able to draw any conclusion?
According to the webpage, what works is eating meals at certain times of the day and doing this consistently in order to lose weight. Weight loss pills aren’t as effective as managing when you eat. The webpage effectively makes it clear that eating foods at the right times, consistently, every day, works.
What doesn’t work, according to the webpage, is just exercising, low calorie, low fat and low carb diets. Eating meals at different times on different days, so there’s no pattern to when to eat also doesn’t work. Making the wrong food choices, and just relying on positive thinking doesn’t work either.
In conclusion, changing when you eat is needed to lose weight.
4) Click “Next” at the bottom of the page to go to the next page. What is the main reason that prevents people from losing weight?
According to the webpage, it’s “endless procrastination.”
5) Please share any additional feedback/comments you may have.
Overall, your site has many positives. The layout on the main webpage is not-intimidating, so visitors may feel more at ease and be encouraged to try out your product. The tone of your content is also helpful and encouraging.
One recommendation is that in addition to the word “pattern” on the webpage indicated in question 3, you add the phrase, “times of the day.” It’s just a little more straightforward when mentioned the first time on the site. The sentence may read like this: “The times of the day that you choose to eat your meals – your eating pattern — is more powerful than any prescription weight loss pills.” Without the quotes, of course. You could bold the words “your eating pattern” though.
I noticed that your site’s layout and color scheme differs on all three pages. This may confuse your visitors when they try to remember your site. It’s important for visitors to recognize your brand. To help them recall your site, use a color scheme that is uniform from webpage to webpage. I like your Home page’s color scheme. I recommend that you that one or another one that you feel best represents your brand and carry it throughout your entire site.
Repeating the same female pictures on any one webpage looks a bit generic. I suggest that you add a few pictures of men as they may also benefit from your product. This could lead to increased sales.
I’ve enjoyed reviewing your site and I hope this helps.

What is your initial impression of the site? What do you think it does?
?My initial impression of this site was that the graphics are not centered on the page. As I scrolled down the page it became a little more balanced. The graphics are large and easy to read. The cartoon style grabbed my attention with the bright colors. It is very clear that this site is about helping someone with weight loss. To be more specific maybe someone who has tried to lose weight many times before and failed.
Are you immediately drawn to click anything? Why?
My eyes were immediately drawn to the “Diet User Log In” link. Which was in fact a little discouraging. After briefly looking more closely at the page I focused in on the “click to begin” link. I think this particular button should be more prominent. This would encourage users to sign up first. Seeing the log in link firt made me feel like I already needed to be a member to view the site.
Where would you go to learn more about what the site has to offer?
I clicked on the “click here to begin” button to learn more about what his site has to offer. I was then greeted by a list of useful facts.
According to the information presented, what works and what does not work when it comes to losing weight? Are you able to draw any conclusion?
One’s eating patterns is definitely a factor. Also how many times a day a person eats a meal. The information states that eating more than 3 meals a day will aid in losing weight. This of course would include smaller portions and healthy food choices. According to the page traditional low fat and low carb diets are useless. A successful diet will consist of controlling the hormones that are released every time a person eats. This is refered to as calorie shifting which is a key to losing weight.
Click “Next” at the bottom of the page to go to the next page. What is the main reason that prevents people from losing weight?
The main reason that prevents people from losing weight is a combination of their eating habits and procrastination. People have a hard time setting a definite date to start their weight loss program.
Please share any additional feedback/comments you may have.
All of the information included in the site made sense. I would be compelled to give this program a chance especially if past diets and programs were a failure. That said the way the information was presented reminded me of the 1,000′s of other get slim or get rich sites on the internet. I think it would be better received if the structure was broken down and designed differently to be more easy on the eye.
Feedback sought:
1) Visit http://tinyurl.com/7ej8zku. What is your initial impression of the site? What do you think it doe? Are you immediately drawn to click anything? Why?
My initial impression is that your homepage looked like it is off center and pushed in the upper left corner of the page.
Secondly, I think you should re-think your brand strategy. Calling someone an idiot is not a good way of getting customers. Idiot is derogatory, and a word like “dummy” is a little less harsh, but still not positive.
I would suggest coming up with a way of branding yourself without calling the customer names.
2) Where would you go to learn more about what the site has to offer?
Just navigating around, the off-centeredness is annoying and I would leave if I was a visitor.
Links are hidden within the top graphic and does not promote clicking.
The claim that you will lose 9 lbs. every 11 days seems like you are stating a fact, even though every one is different. I don’t see evidence to substantiate your claim.
3) Now visit the following page: http://tinyurl.com/7o6cgf4 . According to the information presented, what works and what does not work when it comes to losing weight? Are you able to draw any conclusion?
I’m trying to figure out what this second page is linked from?
Extremely fast weight loss is not healthy, and in fact not recommended by Dr.’s. You need your claims and systems backed by health professionals.
Don’t know why you have think closely underlined. Makes me think it is a link. You don’t need emphasis on these two words.
The statement Low Calorie Diets do not work, is not a true statement, it is opinion. The show Biggest Loser says just the opposite.
4) Click “Next” at the bottom of the page to go to the next page. What is the main reason that prevents people from losing weight?
After a lot of scrolling, I thought you would talk more about the diet, however I see the Diet Generator V6 diet card. I’m confused.
Also, it doesn’t make sense to click the link “Click here to download diet” – I don’t know what I am downloading, and you do not make it clear enough to warrant clicking on it.
5) Please share any additional feedback/comments you may have.
It is obvious you are trying to re-invent the wheel by not using traditional navigational links. I suggest you make your links actionable by having them in the upper top of your page, after you center your homepage.
Too much scrolling down through information. You would lose me if I were the visitor.
I think you have a lot of opinions that are stated as facts. When people see this, your brand will lose credibility, which you are trying to develop. I would re-visit the claims and fix them so they do not go against the medical community.
There are just too many confusing things about your website. If the visitor is confused, they will not try or stay on your site.
?zeke2100 has received an award.
1) Visit http://tinyurl.com/7ej8zku. What is your initial impression of the site?
The site is vibrant and inviting and got my attention right away (especially since I need to lose some weight). I like the “happy” colors used in the design. I like the name…communicates to visitors that “anyone” can do this.
What do you think it does?
Visitors are able to quickly understand what the site is about. It offers helpful diet information that is simple to understand and easy to put into practice and provides a diet plan for RAPID weight loss without starving!!
Are you immediately drawn to click anything? Why?
Even an idiot cannot miss the “Click To Begin”. (ha ha)
It is right in the middle of the page and there are three separate arrows or paths leading to it.
2) Where would you go to learn more about what the site has to offer?
I was compelled to look for the 10 Easy Rules for dieting and weight loss, so I selected “Click to Begin” pretty quickly.
If a person was not sure what the site offers, then the “About” is easy to find at the bottom of the home page. Also, when I scroll down and read the information at the bottom of the page, I feel the introduction motivates a person to keep reading.
I am not completely sure that an infrequent internet user would know what “About” means.
It was obvious to me and would be to most visitors, but I do not think my mom would know. (Maybe “About This Site” is better than “About”???)
3) Now visit the following page: http://tinyurl.com/7o6cgf4 .
According to the information presented, what works and what does not work when it comes to losing weight? Are you able to draw any conclusion?
What works according to the info:
Weight loss is simple when a person eats the right foods at the correct intervals during the day.
What does NOT work according to the info:
Low fact, low carb, low calorie diets. They work against your metabolism, drain you of energy and leave you feeling miserable.
Conclusion:
The types of foods you eat and the pattern you eat them is what causes weight gain or weight loss. You do not have to workout a lot or starve yourself. If fact, if you starve yourself you will not lose weight or will lose it more slowly.
4) Click “Next” at the bottom of the page to go to the next page. What is the main reason that prevents people from losing weight?
?The primary reason that prevents people from losing weight is ENDLESS procrastination.
5) Please share any additional feedback/comments you may have.
All of the information on the site is easy to read and understand. Also, excellent use of text formatting, symbols and graphics. You did a great job selling me on the idea that I need to do this and need to do it now, but I am still not exactly sure what I would be getting for $39.95.
It is a lot of money to the average person. The home pages says “10 Easy Rules for dieting and weight loss, so I assume I would get complete and detailed information on these rules along with diet information and techniques and practices to be successful. I would like to see more information on exactly what I am getting. Also I would like to see testimonials from others who have used your diet and had success. Also, it would be great to have comments from medical professional so that I feel this is safe and effective.
I hope my feedback was helpful. Good luck and best wishes for much success in the future!!
mgjohnson has received an award.
The first thing that hit me was the word IDIOT. When people are on a diet they already have low self esteem and calling them a idiot would not boot their esteem which a diet is supposed to do.
The page was extremely cheesy, unprofessional in my opinion if you want to make money for a product your website should look a bit more professional, not like it was a junior high project.
I will keep it very short and sweet. I am currently looking to go on a diet with a group of friends and that website threw me off as soon as I saw Idiot and after that my instrest was lost.
I would not buy a diet from that site.
?1) Visit http://tinyurl.com/7ej8zku. What is your initial impression of the site? What do you think it does? Are you immediately drawn to click anything? Why?
My first thought was that this site looks like it’s fun and that it might make loosing weight fun. After reading the content on the site it didn’t give me a clear understanding of what your site is supposed to do for me. In spite of the that your site looks fun and interesting it seems to lack that professional credible look. When it comes to loosing weight this can be a serious issue and no your sites look doesn’t reassure me that you may have trained professionals on your team. I also must say that I don’t like he wording of “idiot” used your site. It may make people feel that they are not itelligent because they have a weight problem. The little women featured on the picture looks me like she works a nature park rather than a weight lose coach. The coloring looks very playfull and that can go two ways: people think it’s fun and exciting or user think that your site is a joke. Your site doesn’t offer any hard hitting facts or content which makes you don’t really have any factual tips to offer people. I would only click on your site out of curiosity not really hoping for a real weight loss solution. You have weight loss info below but I really didn’t see anything that didn’t seem like general findings. As I scroll down to the area of the page that has the facts I don’t quit like the layout with the blue and black triangle off to the site. I would much rather see centered info with a design around it but notthing to distracting because I can assume the info your provide is of a important nature and you want it to read in its entirty.
2) Where would you go to learn more about what the site has to offer?
Since I’m not to big on just downloading things I would go to the click to begin button on the screen. You also have a small “about” button at the bottom of the top of the screen before you start to scroll down. This is the first time on the site where you give a more detailed look into what your is about and what your want to offer to your users. This info should not be stored at the bottom on the page on a tab that people rarely go to. I also see that you have a section where those with a paid membership can enter from your about page but why is that info not posted anywhere on your homepage?
3) Now visit the following page: http://tinyurl.com/7o6cgf4 . According to the information presented, what works and what does not work when it comes to losing weight? Are you able to draw any conclusion?
From looking at your info you say that low fat diets, low carb diets, and low calorie diets don’t work. You state you food is the most powerful thing to utilize when you consume it has an effect on how much weight that you gain. You also state that exercise is the a major deciding factor again its when and what you eat. You also state that to loose weight your body needs to control 2 hormones and that your diet plan will show people how to do that with the food they eat. Your site tells me that calorie shifting is the way to loose weight by shifting the correct calories to certain parts of the day. You also state that food is not enemy and that positive thinking will not help you loose weight alone. The conclusions that I draw from this site is that you will show users how to shift calories in order to have an effective weight loss.
4) Click “Next” at the bottom of the page to go to the next page. What is the main reason that prevents people from losing weight?
You say the main reason people can’t loose weight is procrastination. Often times people wait for the “right time” to get thin when getting thin can happen at any time.
5) Please share any additional feedback/comments you may have.
?I see that your site has good intentions but I feel like I was let down with nothing really substantial to work with. Your site tell all about why other diets don’t work but it seemed to lack a great push as to why calorie shilfting is going to work. I also do’t like how you “save” the hidden price until the last page. If I was sold on calorie shifting that might be a total let down to a user to see the surprise $39 to use our tips. Your site seemed like it shifted from a community weight loose to a typical run of the mill selling site. There seemed to be a total disconnect and I felt no real connection. All I see visually is fat and thin people plasterd all over the sight and it seems to be only geared towards women since that’s all I have seen. Where are the success stories and before and after pictures. I am personally not sold on a sites words alone when it comes to weight loss. I would want to see some examples or samples of what I will be getting in the download. Do you have any money back guarantees? Why is the paid member page on the about page and nowhere else? What is different from paying and not paying? On your homepage it says learn the ten easy rules to weight loss but for $39 user may not find it worth paying for. I just get a real disconnection from your site with no real sense that you have proven facts to help with weight loss. I see no proof whether it be from a user or a scientific person in the the field. In a day in time in which weight loss is key and it’s more products to shake a stick at you need to have hard core evidence that calorie shifting is real and not not just another fly by night hunch.
Latasha has received an award.
My initial impression was the site was colorful and eye catching. I was drawn to click on the idiot button.I would go to google the site to see the reviews.
I found out that eating 3 meals a day is not enough-you need to eat more to lose weight. The conclusion I took from it is that a low calorie diet does not work because your metabolism will drop to adjust.
You can not get slimmer until you change your eating habits. Your body will not change by itself. Try something new.
?1) Nice bright colors does draw the eye. The topic is “heavy” but the site does not reflect that, which is good, because you get the idea that the experience is light and fun and doable.
?2) Click here to begin……enticing!
3) Calorie shifting, eating the right foods in the correct intervals. Low calorie,low fat and low carb diets. Nutrition is the answer, not starving or exercise.
4)Procrastination, always holding out for the next time.
5) The site is easily accessible and understandable.
Visit http://tinyurl.com/7ej8zku. What is your initial impression of the site? What do you think it does? Are you immediately drawn to click anything? Why?
The first thing that comes to mind, is that the site is way too bright. It hurts your eyes. My suggestion would be for you to change the coloring. It can be very colorful without using “Bright” colors. The links and words at the bottom of the page are way too small to even read. My suggestion would be to use bigger font. The site is about losing weight.
Where would you go to learn more about what the site has to offer?
I clicked “sign up” to see what the site is about. I noticed there are a lot of pages of reading which can make a person feel overwhelmed. There is no “Home” tab or link on any of those pages which means for a person to get back to the “Homepage” they have to keep clicking back. You should have a “home” link on every page. Normally, sites have tabs like “About us” which gives the person an idea of what the site is about. An “F&Q” is very helpful too to get answers to the most common questions asked. I suggest that you create and “About us” and “F&Q” page. People will be more wanting to use your service, if they knew more about it and have answers to their questions. You also do not have a “Contact” link where people are able to contact you and ask you any questions. Most people will not use a service that they are not able to contact.
Now visit the following page: http://tinyurl.com/7o6cgf4 . According to the information presented, what works and what does not work when it comes to losing weight? Are you able to draw any conclusion?
To start off with, that is a lot of reading. Second, I noticed on a lot of your pages, you have a lot of empty room. You only use the left side of the site. I suggest that you move everything to the middle or find things to use the right side for. I understand what you are saying about the calorie shifting but since I have never tried it, I don’t know if it works.
Click “Next” at the bottom of the page to go to the next page. What is the main reason that prevents people from losing weight?
Procrastination.
Please share any additional feedback/comments you may have.
?There is way too much reading. People will not take the time out to read all of that. They will lose interest and click out of the site. When claiming a program works, you should always have testimonies from people who have used it on your site. I suggest that you should change a few things in which I mentioned above. Good luck!!
1) Visit http://tinyurl.com/7ej8zku. What is your initial impression of the site? What do you think it does? Are you immediately drawn to click anything? Why?
My initial impressions is that the page seems to be a bit off center with all of the information appearing on the top left side of the page (my screen resolution: 1366 x 768 pixels). I like the top part of the page because it is very colorful. The bottom part however seemed a bit out of place and to me it almost looks a bit like an afterthought.
The one thing that I didn’t like about the page is the use of the word “idiot”. I think that weight loss can be an exceptionally emotional issue with many people having tried and failed using a number of different weight loss programs. I think this could be offensive to some people especially when they have been working hard or trying to loose weight for a long time. I really don’t like the smiling lady with the stopwatch with the “I am a certified idiot” speech bubble (perhaps the page would seem less harsh without this graphic?).
I think that the page is promoting a weight loss diet which can be downloaded.
Initially I didn’t notice the “Click to Begin button”. The “I’m a certified idiot” speech bubble seems to over power the “Click to begin button”.
2) Where would you go to learn more about what the site has to offer?
Initially I scrolled down to learn more about what the site had to offer. I then clicked the “Click to begin button”. Personally I think that the information at the bottom of the first page could be taken away as it is repeated after you click the button which takes you to the rest of the site. Perhaps if the button were bigger and more in your face this would encourage people to click it. Perhaps it could say something like “click here to learn more” or “click here to learn how to loose 9lbs every 11 days”.
3) Now visit the following page: http://tinyurl.com/7o6cgf4 . According to the information presented, what works and what does not work when it comes to losing weight? Are you able to draw any conclusion?
Strict diets do not work. Diets which require you to cut down or cut out food groups are discouraging and don’t have the desired results.
The website is promoting a method which does not require people to starve themselves but rather adjust their lifestyles to get their bodies in balance thereby allowing the body to loose weight naturally without the side-effects which other diets can have. A more holistic approach without the effort of “normal” diets.
4) Click “Next” at the bottom of the page to go to the next page. What is the main reason that prevents people from losing weight?
The website says that procrastination is the main reason people don’t loose weight. I like the bit about pulling out the calendar and circling todays date and the day 11 days from now. I think that this allows people to feel like their goal is within their reach without feeling overwhelmed or discouraged.
?5) Please share any additional feedback/comments you may have.
I noticed that there is a lack in continuity in the theme of the website. The first (home) and second page are the same and then it looks like it moves to a different (affiliate?) site with page 4 looking completely different to the other pages. Overall I like the information presented on the site and I think that visitors would find it very interesting and would probably like to learn more. As mentioned above, I don’t like the “I am a certified idiot” speech bubble of the graphic that goes with it. Personally I would try to find a more encouraging positive message for the home page. I love the use of the calendar illustration on the last page so perhaps that could be incorporated into the home page. Perhaps something like a calendar showing todays date and the another circle 11 days away with something like “If you start today you could be 11 lbs lighter by x date”.
1) Visit http://tinyurl.com/7ej8zku. What is your initial impression of the site? What do you think it doe? Are you immediately drawn to click anything? Why?
First off, this site struck me as very unique in regards to the design, graphics and colors. My interest was immediately piqued for that fact alone. The feel/theme was fun and reminded me of classic comic book art, maybe something you’s see in the ad panels of some 80′s comics, sans the more solid colors. My first thoughts about the purpose of the site gravitated toward some sort of newsletter or brochure sent by email that went over a step by step program to lost weight. The space off to the right is a bit empty, bulky and bland though. It also looks like the front page was two pages smashed together. After a few seconds, I realize that I really have no idea what is being offered here other than a different presentation in website design.
I’m curious to click on the “Click To Begin” link simply to see how the rest of the site is laid out. The fact that I’m thinking like that instead of “Oh God, not another weight loss pitch, my mind is going to explode,” is a testament to your web designer’s skills. Okay… the initial buzz is wearing off and I’ve noticed there are no real navigation links, which makes me feel like I’m being forced down a path of heavy marketing, not to pop out on the other side without having to see the long and drawn out pitch (which may or may not be true)
2) Where would you go to learn more about what the site has to offer?
The Click To Begin icon is visible and in an appropriate place, but the color choice here leaves it faded into the background. I didn’t even notice it until I had spend a few seconds examining the page. A lot of the icons around it almost look clickable though they are not. This could be confusing to people looking for more information. There’s also a link below the Weight Loss Facts article, which leads to the same place. The text here is bulky for a newcomer; the link should read simply. “Click Here To Find Out More/Get Started.”
3) Now visit the following page: http://tinyurl.com/7o6cgf4 . According to the information presented, what works and what does not work when it comes to losing weight? Are you able to draw any conclusion?
Using the right foods at the right intervals each day plays a far greater part in weight loss and maintenance than exercise, and supersede diet pills in effective weight control. We need to know when our bodies need certain foods and how to spread our meals out to greater than 3 a day to make an impact on our weight. It’s not necessary to exercise and/or starve to shave off pounds. Low fat and low calorie diets do not work and low carb diets sap energy, mood and willpower. Calorie shifting diets will manipulate bodily response systems to encourage the burning of calories and engage the system to begin shedding weight.
4) Click “Next” at the bottom of the page to go to the next page. What is the main reason that prevents people from losing weight?
Procrastination is the number one reason that prevents people from making a positive impact on their health and weight problems. This is perhaps the most common reason for not accomplishing most anything.
5) Please share any additional feedback/comments you may have.
?Some people are easily offended. The use of the word “idiot” on the front page several times might be a turn off for some. For me, I could care less — I get it. But for others, this may not be the case. The “For Dummies” series does this successfully though so who knows. Maybe “dummies” is slightly less abrasive and comes across in a chiding manner. Could just be a matter of word choice.
There are a lot of pages to read through before getting to the product pitch. Also, there are bold color changes and some format changes to a lesser degree that almost give me the feeling of jumping from one sales page to the next. All of the text and info is bunched up on one side of the screen, leaving the rest as a big, open space with no real purpose. Everything looks unbalanced.
The entire feeling here went from mild interest right into typical salesy copy with highlights and exclamation marks, etc. There are no testimonials here. All of a sudden the last two pages are centered while the rest are smashed to the left. There seems to be no picture of the product, no actual physical image to give the consumer the idea that they are getting something tangible for their money.
The Log In button for members seems to be in an odd place. I can’t say whether I like it there or not. It’s certainly noticeable. Some of the pages linked at the very bottom of the landing page have weird looking little “stripes” of graphics running down the right side of the page. I assume this is to offset the info being pushed off to the left and leaving the rest rather sparse. It looks awkward.
On second thought, the site seems very bright. I wouldn’t mind it during the day, but at night after I’m settled down it might be a bit too much.
Good luck, and I hope this helps!

1) Visit http://tinyurl.com/7ej8zku. What is your initial impression of the site? What do you think it does? Are you immediately drawn to click anything? Why?
?My first impression of Fat loss 4 Idiots is that it does not appeal to me for a couple of reasons.
It looks too simple and I do not like to be associate myself with idiots.
I am all for weightloss and have done a lot of differant diets. This diet make looks like just another person or company who wants to make money. The graphics is cheep and does not suit the front page. The lady holding the watch does not look like she needs to loose any weight.
The scale with the tape measure is relevant but does not make a big impact.
I am overwhelmed what to do next as there is too much being asked too soon. I will need more relevant information that I can relate to and qualify my needs to what the program offer. Although curious what this diet is about I hesitated to click any buttons. The click to begin seems like the first step to take.
However I scrolled down and saw there is a lot of information to first go through. After scanning trough it I scrolled back to the top and had a funny thought that the lady with the watch must be a real idiot since she is not fat at all and to say the least not even blond:) Well she must be a REAL idiot to go on the Idiots diet….
On a more serious tone I suggest you first write down why people diet and then put info and pics to mainly relate to them offering simple solutions to overcome the mission to lose weight. I do think for some people this diet would appeal since diets are the number one seller on the internet. Would rather put in a free booklet or testimonies of happy customers
2) Where would you go to learn more about what the site has to offer?
Their are 3 buttons than can click to get more info. Not none were my own choice and to answer the question
I felt forced to try them all.
These days on the internet there is so much info offered that really boils down to the long and short of a story.
If I am not captured by the first page there is no need to sift through al the other info initially to realize loosing weight is about one thing and one thing only. Eat less than your body burns. I clicked on the try our new… botton and just skimmed through. I feel the pics used is good but my believability took serious knock when the before and after pictures does not seen to be the same persons. The get rid of fat is easy compared than to flatten and tone away access skin that hangs. The pics have none of that.
3) Now visit the following page: http://tinyurl.com/7o6cgf4 . According to the information presented, what works and what does not work when it comes to losing weight? Are you able to draw any conclusion?
Must say I feel much relieved after reading the page and I do agree with quite a few things being said.
What they say work is:
Right food at right times.
What does not work is low fat and low carb diets.
Your questions is good but does not help you built a better website.
Suggest you ask if the info were helpfull and my aswer would be yes.
However my first impressions were not good. looks like the person who designed this sight has good and valuable info but does not know how to get it packaged right so it appeals to people who want to loose weight.
4) Click “Next” at the bottom of the page to go to the next page. What is the main reason that prevents people from losing weight?
Procrastination.
Again I would suggest your question should not be directed to convince people that your diet is the right one, but for the purpose of gaining valuable info to make your website both clicky and sticky defeats the purpose.
I would rather ask, What do you think people would do when presented with this info on dieting.
5) Please share any additional feedback/comments you may have.
Building successful websites is a lot to do with human psychology and with the little info presented you needs people to both associate with it and give enough value for them to build a relationship. You cannot mind F**k people and think they are all idiots that will go for your new fad diet. (Sorry for being blunt but I really want you to hear me out)
You need to establish a valuable relationship first and truly and sinceryly build a honest open relationship with your audience. Those who truly want to loose weight and those who will talk about you to their friends. Every move you make, evry word you post every pitrure or video you show will build or break that relationship. With this website you have good offerings presented in the wrong way.
I feel to successfully market online is an art or skill that should be developed and with time perfected.
If this is your first try I would say 10/10. But if this is just for the money and short term I think you have a serious problem.
I sincerely hope you find this info valuable and truly may you become a successful online marketer

1) Visit http://tinyurl.com/7ej8zku. What is your initial impression of the site? What do you think it doe? Are you immediately drawn to click anything? Why?
My first impression is that it is a little disorganized. The page is a little bit off to the left. It should have been centered. The combination of colors, together with the image, is not appealing to me. Maybe you can improve that. The link buttons are confusing. Just by looking, you can’t tell which one has the hyperlink because the “Download our brand new…” button has the same shape as that of the “Learn the 10 Easy Rules..” and “Lose 9 pounds..” It makes one think they all have hyperlinks or none at all. Maybe you can change this by highlighting the actual hyperlinks, or by changing the layout so that hyperlinks can be easily distinguished.
I would like to comment on that “Idiots” thing but I guess you are stuck with that name because I can see a TM superscript at the end of the word. Is “Weight Loss 4 Idiots” created by you or are you authorized to use this title? If not, someone might slap you a lawsuit for copying their title. And technically, “idiot” means a mentally handicapped person. You might want to change that to “beginners, newbies, dummies, etc.” before you offend somebody.
2) Where would you go to learn more about what the site has to offer?
I would click on the “Click here to begin” or on the “Try our New ACCELERATED Fat Burning Diet right here” link. It contains all the information of the weight loss program. It’s good that you have two links for the next page, one on top and the other at the bottom. It’s convenient so that the viewer won’t have to scroll all the way up to proceed to the next page after reading the information below.
3) Now visit the following page: http://tinyurl.com/7o6cgf4 . According to the information presented, what works and what does not work when it comes to losing weight? Are you able to draw any conclusion?
Calorie shifting works on weight loss while low fat, low calorie, and low carb diets do not work. I can draw a conclusion that manipulating your diet by eating different types of calories everyday will confuse your metabolism which results into rapid fat loss. I am familiar with nutrition being a registered nurse, and this actually makes sense. What would be more convincing is if you place a link for an article that supports this claim and place it next to that statement that says calorie shifting is the answer. You can also add links to other websites, especially those from the “experts”, that support this theory. This way people can verify that you are not making this up.
4) Click “Next” at the bottom of the page to go to the next page. What is the main reason that prevents people from losing weight?
The main reason which prevents people from losing weight is endless procrastination, further delaying the implementation of fitness programs until nothing happens.
Actually, this statement encourages people to change this negative attitude. I’m sure a lot of them can relate to this. It’s good that you have included this in your page. But you can add more motivators to encourage people to try out your program.
?5) Please share any additional feedback/comments you may have.
The whole website could use some major improvement. Aside from what I’ve pointed above, it would be better if you place a “Home” button in each of your pages so that people can go back to the main page directly. I also suggest placing the other links like the ones for the related articles, terms of use, privacy policy, etc. on all of the pages so people can access them immediately. Also the member’s log-in area should be placed at the side, either the left or the right side of the main page. It would be better if members could log-in directly at the main page for convenience. Another thing, you can add testimonials of actual people who benefited from your program. This would convince more people that it really works.
